Setting up Audio CDs to play automatically on F12

[philip_rhoades]

People,

How is this done? I would prefer to use LXDE if I can solve a couple of issues (another related post to follow).

Thanks,

Phil.

Look at the post right before yours, about screenshot.

It should be easy to make your own F12 function in the file $HOME/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml

And you should execute a home made script looking like this
"mplayer cdda:// -cache 5000"

actually no need of a script, if you input that line in the lxde-rc.xml file it should work fine...

Let us know

nicoseb,

Thanks for the reply but that solution still requires a key press?

I am talking about a CD starting to play as soon as you put it in the drive - like Gnome . .

Thanks,

Phil.

Just to get this clear, with F12 you mean Fedora 12?

Sorry,

Yes, I saw the key mapping stuff and thought the suggestion was for a function key. I had a closer look at the lxde-rc.xml file but I am still not sure where to put the line: "mplayer cdda:// -cache 5000" - and what tag should it have?

Thanks,

Phil.

Have a look at the examples:

Code: Select all

    <keybind key="W-e">
      <action name="Execute">
        <startupnotify>
          <enabled>true</enabled>
          <name>PCManFM</name>
        </startupnotify>
        <command>pcmanfm</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

you have to but it in "command".

maces,

That still looks like a keybinding to me but I don't know what the "W" in "W-e" would stand for (eg "C-A-d" is understandable). I am looking for an _automatic_ playing of the newly inserted audio CD.

Thanks,

Phil.
